Other common alloying elements are tin (which makes the magnesium more castable) and manganese (which can improve resistance to corrosion, something that magnesium is very susceptible to).

However the sodium (or Potassium) ions released during conventional water softening are much more electrolytically active ...

The nail wrapped in magnesium is not corroded. There is slight corrosion on the normal nail and massive corrosion on the copper wrapped nail. Connecting a more reactive metal from higher in the ...

Compared to the unmodified AZ31b sample, the carbon-implanted samples demonstrated significantly lower corrosion current density values. This is attributed to the amorphous carbon layer that formed on ...
